As serial link speeds increase beyond 6.25 Gbps, most channels incur enough loss to close the signal eye at the receiver input and require active receiver equalization to recover a usable signal. This renders traditional lab measurements obsolete, as the sampled signal is no longer physically accessible. Simulation can be used to model the effect of transmit/receive equalization and predict a design’s operating margin.
